Wow...you most definitely are in need of a drop!!! It'll be interesting to see how much of a drop you get. Good luck.

I'm curious what ride quality is like. It's hard to see, but is that a metal shock perch that goes on the top? Do you get more NVH from having metal on metal?

Are those 19s or 20s? That ride may be very stiff. Best wishes.

When are you going to do your installation? After installing it how much fender gap do you figure you'll end up with? One or two finger gap?

Hmm, is this what they look like? I've also ordered K-Sport Coilovers and thought they where the orange ones? Looking forward to see the result!

all I can say is awesome! the K-sports are in and dialed in...they took a little to get right....I also installed the adjustable camber kit to get the alignment right where I wanted it.....I opted for 1 very tight finger gap on front and a little more than a finger on the rear as I think after settling there will be another 1/4 in of drop.....still have plenty to go way lower...you could easily tuck the tire but clearance with the road is too little unless all you travel are perfect roads....with the compression and rebound dampening I opted to go 2 clicks in from full stiff....no spring bounce what so ever....at lighter dampening rates the rear had a little spring bounce....ride quality is very solid and sports car like....and the steering becomes way more responsive...definitely a must do for people who like performance driving rather than cruising....I will post pics tomorrow when the rain stops
